Formulation NameBhrngaraja Taila
Method Take all ingredients of pharmacopoeial quality.  Treat Tila taila to prepare murcchita Tila taila (Appendix 6.2.9.4).  Treat Gairika to prepare Gairika - Shuddha (Appendix 6.2.8.2).  Take fresh Bhringaraja and wash thoroughly with water. Grind and filter through muslin cloth to obtain svarasa.  Wash; clean; dry the ingredients numbered 3 to 6 and 8 to 14 of the Formulation Composition; powder separately and pass through 180 nm I. S. sieve (sieve number 85) (kalka dravya).  Transfer the kalka dravya to the wet grinder alongwith Gairika - Shuddha and grind with sufficient quantity of water to prepare homogeneous blend (kalka).  Take murcchita Tila Taila in a stainless steel vessel and heat it.  Add increments of kalka; stir thoroughly while adding svarasa.  Heat for 3 h with constant stirring; maintaining the temperature between 500 and 900 during the first hour of heating. Stop heating and allow to stand overnight.  Continue the process of heating intermittently over a period of three days. Constantly check the kalka by rolling between the fingers.  Stop the heating when the kalka breaks down into pieces on attempting to form a varti (khara paka laksana) and at the appearance of froth (phenodgama) over the oil. Expose the kalka and oil to flame and confirm the absence of crackling sound indicating absence of moisture.  Filter while hot (about 800) through a muslin cloth and allow to cool.  Store it in glass containers and pack them air-tight to protect from light and moisture.
